Captain Wales, recently appointed to the command of the Salvation Ar my in this city, conducted service at the Second Presbyterian church last night. Capt. Wales was introduced to | the Charlotte public by the News week before last, in a correspondence be tween the mayor of Decatur, Ga., and the mayor of Charlote, the former writ- tlng the latter a most eluoglstlc letter in regard to Capt. 'Wales. The Sec ond church people were not only pleas ed with him personally last night, but were greatly interested in what he had to say. He made a frank, straightfor ward talk in regard to the Army here —its stfituR. financial, religious and so cial. He asked the help of the Sec ond church people—as he does all church people—in getting the Army on a higher plane; in arousing inter est In it. On the second Sunday in July Capt. Wales v.ill present the cause at the First Baptist church. Dr. Hulten will be absent on that date. Ruining the Lecture Market. Charles H. Sherrill, minister to the Argentine Republic, who has been in the United States telling business or ganizations about the opportunities to get wealthy from trade with South America, received a call from a mid dle-aged woman, w'ho approached him In a Western city with the statement: “I am going to assist you in your work.” “Yes,” said Mr. Sherrill. “I am going to take some of these lecture dates off your hands and give them myself. By the way, how much do vou get a night for them?” Mr. Sherrill related with a direct ness w’hich carried conviction that he did not get a red cent and paid his expenses besides. “Well,” said the caller, in great anger, as she flounced to the door\. “I thought you were a business man, but it seems that you are only doing a great Injury to the lecture market In this section.”—New York Herald. At the Summer Resort. “W’^hy don’t you show a little am bition, Slithers?” asker Binks. “Go In and make a reputation for yourself. ‘•What’s the use?" said Slithers. “I’d no Hooner make It than these old ladies on the piazza here would tear it all to pieces.”—Marper’s Weekly. I In the Best cFrm. “Isn’t anything being done for that ship in distress?” ^ “Yes. miss; we’ve just dropped em a line to come ashore.” “What, were they waiting for an lnvlt#ition, then?"—Cassell’s, » The new city directory is being de livered today. The back is about twice as large as the last directors^ proof of the corrections o fthe census give Charlotte by the last “numbering of the tribes.” The bood w'as gotten out by the Piedmont Directory Co., of Asheville. It contains an alphabetically arrang ed list of names, a classified business directory a street or househoulders di rectory. a numerical telejhone direc tory and a miscellaneous department. The price is $6. It w^as issuer June 1st. The book was computed by Ernest H. Miller. It is complete in all respects and will prove indispesable to all busi ness houses. What They Heard. The Ladies’ Aid women were talk ing about a conversation they over heard before the meeting between a man and his wife, says Lippincott’s Magazine. “They must have been to the zoo,” Mrs. A. said, “because I heard her mention ‘a trained deer.’ ” “Goodness me!” Mrs. B. laughed. “What queer hearing you must have! They w’ere talking about going away, and she said, ‘Find out about the train, dear.’” “Well, did anybody ever?” Mrs. C. exclaimed. “I am sure they were talking about musicians, for she said ‘a trained ear,’ as distinctly as could be.” The discussion began to w'arm up, and In the midst of it the woman her self appeared. They carried their case to her promptly, and asked for a settlement. “Well, well, you do beat all!” she exclaimed, after hearing each one. Td been out to the country over night and was asking my husband if it rained here last night.” After which the three disputants retired, abashed and in silence. Sttenuous Eport to Collect Money The building committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association will make strenous efforts this week to collect $5,000 of outstanding pledges on the Y. M. C. .A. building fund, subscribed a few years ago and on which the association has been paying interest ever since the comple tion of the building. The $35,000 bond on the new build ing Is to mature July 1st and the direc tors have completed arrangements for a renewal of $30,000 necessitating the payment immediately of $5,000 on the bond. It is sincerely hoped that those not having completed payments on their pledges will send their checks for the unpaid amounts either to the Y. M. C. A. office or to the treasurer, A. G. Brenizer, at the Commercial National Bank. Those paying in this way will con fer a great favor on the directors and the community in general who are justly proud of the handsome Young Men’s Christian Association building and who are anxious to see it clear of all incumbrance. ^ The Bellboy Ethics.^ Jones had passed a weary night. The strange hotel bed, the pas&ing trains, the midnight and morning cocks had atl contributed to his rest lessness, and it w'as not until 7:30 o’clock that he fell into his first really comfortable doze. Bangl Bang!- He thought that the Germans were upon him. But he awoke to find that it was only the “boots” rapping at his door. ^ “Well, what is it?” he grumbled. “A telegram, sir,” replied the boots, in breathless tones. “Will you open the door, sir.” “Certainly not!” exclaimed Jones crossly. He was by no means anxious to leave his sheltering sheets. “Slip it under the door, my boy.” “I can’t do that, sir,” replied the boots, anxiously. “It’s on a tray!”— Answers. Cheap Decorations. Senator Beveridge, at a reception in Washington smiled slightly as an am bassador passed w'hose coat front was one blaze of decorations. “They look nice,” said Senator Bev eridge, “but, after all, they don’t mean much.” He laughed. "An ancestor,” he resumed, “once played in a small German principality for a fortnight. The grand duke, to Ills disappointment, failed to decorate him. He mentioned this oversight at a court dinner to a chamberlain and the next day he was sent for. “ ‘My friend,’ said the gr.and duke handing the actor a box, ‘here is some thing to remember me by.’ “The overjoyed actor departed, but his cab had hardly gone ten yards when, ordering it to return again, the actor was once more unshered into the grand duke’s presence. “ ‘Oh, sir,’ he said, T had to drive back. There are two crosses in the box.’ “ ‘Oh, no matter,’ said the grand duke, ‘Give the other to the cabman’.” Cat Beat Him Back. The grayness of evening was creep ing over the little suburb. Far away the shrill voices of newspaper boys could be heard calling the 6:30 edi tions, and the mocn cast its pale beams on the worried woman who stood anxiously leaning over her gard en gate. “I can’t make out where my hus band has got to,” s^he remarked to a neighbor. “He went out nearly three hours ago with our cat, a bag, two bricks and the clothesline. He was going to the river to drown the cat. Oh, what can have happened to him?” “Don’t worry, dear,” said the sym pathetic neighbor. “Cats take an aw* ful time to drown, you know.”^ “But it can’t be that keeping him,” sobbed the distracted wife, “because the'cat came back more than an hour ago.”—Tit-Bits. Dr. J: B. Alexander Buiied Yesterday Was Laid to Rest by Soldiers of the **Lost Cause** in Elm” wood Cemetery-’Large Funl eraU-Beautiful Tribute by Rev. Dr. J. L. Caldwell The funeral services of Dr. J. B. Alexander, one of Mecklenburg’s old est and most widely known, as well as widely ‘ beloved citizens whose death Saturday night was chronicled in Sun day’s News, were conducted yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock at the residence on North Tryon street. The house, yard and street in front of the resi dence were thronged with friends, many of Dr. Alexander’s countymen coming to attend the fuperal. Mecklenburg Camp Confederate Vet erans attended almost to a man. Not one who could possibly be thei:e failed, for Dr. Alexander was one of the men most honored in the camp. He was chaplain of the camp for years, and was high authority on the battles and general incidents of the war. The Masonic bodies also had full representation for Dr. Alexander was one of the oldest Masons, and ever in terested in the order. Dr. John L» Caldwell, a kinsman of Dr. Alexander, conducted the service. After scriptural passages peculiarly i appropriate to Dr. Alexander’s life. Dr. CaldW'ell said: “We are here to pay the last tribute of respect to one of our old citizens—one who during his long life, groved his love of his God, his fellowmen, his country. He was one of the remaining type of Scotch- Irish Presbyterians who made this country, this people, what they are— men who dared to be true to the truth, as God gave it them, and true to them- S©lV€S “I feel that more than just a simple burial service is due such a man as the one We mourn today; that/' some thing should be said that will make an impression upon the young men as to the life and character of the man who has passed. “Dr. Alexander has done his part to perpetuate the deeds of his an cestors. I ask you to preserve his m^emory in your hearts. “The Christian has a hope—there remaineth a rest for the people of God. The body fades aw^ay and then cometh the rest prepared for the Christian. What is that rest? Rest is not idle ness. God is not Idle, He is at rest, and yet is the most vital force In the universe. The real life begins beyond the grave. Those who lead godly, un selfish lives as this aged servant of God, enter Immediately after death upon the real life—the serving of Him w'e profess in «fedless activity of adora tion and praise—a life free from pain and sorrow. “I went to Hopewell church recently —the church which Dr. Alexander loved and which he has so ably written of, and am to preach there Sunday next. I visited the old grave-yard. In this graveyard are the bodies of some of the noblest men this country ever produced. The names are be coming fast obliterated on the tomb stones. This matter sbould be taken up and remedied. These names should be preserved for our children and children’s children. I think it a re proach to us to let these monuments crumble into dust. Let us preserve them. The commemorate deeds of men of whom Dr. Alexander was a type.” During the service Mrs, Carrie Mar tin sang, most beautifully, “Jesus Lov er of My Soul,” and “Abide With Me,” the latter as the body was borne from the house. A peculiar note of pathos was noted in Mrs. Martin’s voice in the first hymn when she sang the line —“Lea,d the blind.” The light had fail ed for Dr. Alexander almost a year ago, but the eye of faith grew brighter to the end. He was “lead” in new paths in which was the light of an eternal day. Acting as bearers were Veterans W. M. Smith, W. O. Hawley J. M. Sims, Zenus Porter, J. P. Sossaman, and Dr. Craven. Said Dr, Hawley on his return from the cemetery: “There is no one to take his place. In the death of Dr. Alexander the human encyclopedia of Mecklenburg history has passed.” Mrs. Robert Alexander and children, who live at the old home place 10 miles from town, and Mr. James Alex ander, a son of Dr. Alexander, were here to attend the funeral. Fine Fishing At Linville This Season “Trout fishing, Linville riter, N. C.,” are the w'ords on a pretty pic ture card which comes from Mr. Jas. P. Vining, who is at Linville. Says Mr. Vining: “Fly fishing here was never better. Mr. W. R. Burwell is having fine luck. He caught his limit on Friday and Saturday last.” —Dr. H. M. Wilder made a mistep yesterday afternoon on the street curb in front of his house, fel^, and hurt his knee. He was suffering very much last night. STEAMER TAPPHO RESERVED FOR EXCURSIONISTS. Waste. “So you think this country is waste ful of" its resources and opportu* ' “Of course I do,” replied the friv olous philosopher. "Look at all this magnifiicent circus weather and not a tent show in sight!”—Washington Star. The committee on the excursion to Charleston and Isle of Palms have succeeded in having steamer Tappho reserved for a steamer trip on July 6th. This will be an additional attrac tion to the many pleasures already of fered on this attractive excursion. Large numbers of parties are beiiJfe formed to take advantage of the unique plan of chopsing their own seats from a fioor plan of the re served seat car now on exhibition at Woodall & Sheppard's. Parties are not only being formed In Charlotte but in many of the nearby towns and ru ral districts. There is no extra charge for these reservations if made by July 3rd. Car “A", the rear car went on sale this morning. 26-lt White Pumps t New Lot White Canvas Pumps $2.00 and $3.00 These Are Nice New-Sty«e Pumpa— Light and Heavy Soles.
